In honor of Halloween — Top 10 Scary Home Fails

Joan and I love Autumn for the wonderful fall colors, the crisp cool temperatures, and for family memories. Over the years, we’ve hosted and enjoyed many gatherings with friends and family for holiday celebrations, carving pumpkins, watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade and giving thanks.We have many fond memories of watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade in our pj’s with our daughter Lisa … and in later years with she and our grandson, Everest.

We do hope we are building lasting memories with our grandson, too — he’s growing up so fast we can hardly keep up. It seems like only yesterday we were carving pumpkins with Everest, at age five, where he decided scrapping out the yucky pumpkin guts was gross! I can still see his “Stink Eye” face as he watched me reach in with my hand and scoop out guts. His refusal to do the same was adamant!

I, also, respect the Mexican culture for honoring their ancestors at this time of year with Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead). Last year’s movie “Coco” really showed how the simple creation of a family shrine can connect us to our heritage and family memories. With just a few pictures, some of their favorite foods, and other remembered items they liked in life, we honor the ancestors who came before us.

In the meantime, hopefully our grandson remembers I like cleaning out the Pumpkin guts, Ha-Ha.
